We loved it.
Only negative note, that health benefits, not only in the catalog, but even in the hotel on arrival by flyer were issued advertised, not available (billiards, windsurfing, bicycles, sister hotel).
Very positive note the extremely friendly and cheerful waiters at the different bars and in the buffet restaurant. read hotel review

Top hotel. Green and lots of palm trees. Dream bungalows. Good buffet. à-la-carte-restaurant jasmine delta was very good.
Beach and the sea were very nice, as the Karibik presents, but no comparison to the stunning beach at Negril. Excursions were directly bookable in the hotel. Costs about 80-100 Euro per person per trip. Ours were Kingston, Negril and nine mile. The german-speaking tour guides were all very nice.
The animation was always endeavored. The club area was really quite loud, but we personally didn't like that the food bother us. If one its peace to have would like, you can ... this program quite simply be missed. Sat in the evening we then still often with a drinks cozy in front of our bungalow or on the beach.-)
One hears from many directions reggä and dancehall music, what the jamaican flair underlines, but this resort offers the Ballermann to compare is over! And we are really no party people, rather chiller.
On new year's eve there was a gala buffet, which an absolute eye-catcher was. Great entertainment.
No geböller as in Germany usual, only horns and himmelslaternen.
All in all a fabulous vacation. Gladly again!read hotel review

Dream holiday! For 3 star absolutely top! The bungalows are great! Super comfortable! The food in buffet form is really good, the à-la-carte-restaurant jasmine delta is brilliant! Many possibilities for excursions directly in the hotel. We were in Negril, nine mile and Kingston (cost trip about 80-100 Euro per person).
If you something to complain about find, you will also find. The bungalows are a bit dated, yes, but still well maintained! The grounds are beautifully landscaped, green and there was a great atmosphere! We would not hesitate to come back spend our holidays there!
The entertainment was a bit ... too loud. That is true. But i believe, one can the out of the way, if you don't have to be throughout the day at the pool and in the restaurant depends! But including. The sea is directly before the door!? Oh well. The holiday was the absolute insanity!read hotel review

A hotel plant beautifully put on with good food, in the one a beautiful vacation spend, but the annoying animation everything.
We put on this kind of entertainment no value, it was however for us not a criterion for exclusion, since we thought, that one the animation also could avoid, as in all other areas, the we have ever met, always the case. But quite the opposite, a fatal mistake!
The entertainment in the hotel by the pool, and the pool again was right next to the main restaurant. One was around 9:30 a. m. not yet with the ... breakfast ready, one was from this time during the food from the animation team ' zwangsbeschallt', and that is meant; with a microphone with amplifier! A relaxing start to the morning was not possible, an alternative there was also not.
The noise was in the whole hotel area to hear!
If one day in peace at the beach to spend wanted, you had to depending on the wind direction to the extreme end of the area to go at least to some extent to find peace, in the hope the ' good mood entertainers' as a background noise to oust.
The whole magic was only by a about 2a 2.5 hour break interrupted. In the time of the dinner.
This was until 9:30 p. m., but began from 8:30 p. m. the loud entertainment of new, which is again right next to the restaurant took place, so that from the time a quiet, cozy supper was not possible. The energetic animators ran during the 'resting' by the restaurant and chose the guests home! Whether one wanted or not, you had - like it are friendly-intentioned - of up to three animators in a row during the meal smalltalkmäßig persuade leave. The action was the next hour so on, even a flight to the bungalow has not helped, as it was so loud, that one even in the bungalow no peace (and our was at the end of the area, further away was not).
On some days was all this commotion until after 2 hours early, even at christmas it was until after 1 hours dauerbeschallt. Sleep was only possible with ear plugs.
We are really not yet retired couple, the here excited. Far from it, we are only a few simple nor capable, that we ourselves can employ, a relaxing holiday in peace and with a glass of wine in the evening end the day wanted. But had you in this area is not at all the way. Entertainment is all well and good, for those who need it, but it should at least be possible, that you this also to be missed.
Around the whole to escape we even a night in another hotel, so we had at least one day long time peace.
It is really very unfortunate, since one in this hotel certainly an beautiful holiday could, but peace and quiet, the no Majorca Ballermann vacation wants, should this area really avoid!read hotel review

The plant with its bungalows reflect the caribbean flair again; a thousand times better than the rest of the 'concrete' on the island. Pure comfort, tastefully furnished bungalows, cleanliness, friendly and motivated staff, delicious food with a large offer, great beach location, good water sports, great entertainment.
However also a very negative point: the club is a favorite of larger french groups, its own entertainer to bring their own... The annoying a little! read hotel review

Great caribbean bungalow area, with a beautiful beach. I was 2 time there, and would go back again. The area was great and spacious. The entertainment at the main pool is a bit loud and annoying, but you can because of the size of the area and the pool be avoided. In runaway bay (outside the hotel) there really is not much to see (supermarket and a couple of small shops but it was right by the hotel). But one is in 20 minutes in Ocho Rios, there are enough attractions and shopping.
In the hotel you could be the ... fitness room to such a make (3 of 5 old cardio machines do not work). You should also speak a bit of english In december (from just before christmas) also for my taste too many french (with private entertainers).
All in all i would also a 3 time in this hotel again! I love Jamaica!read hotel review

Not too big hotel. Mostly the rooms as bungalows to have. From the cleanliness we were pleasantly surprised. Also with complaints was very hard. We had booked all inclusive.
There were many english and guests from the USA in the hotel, which disturbed us however little. The staff was always very friendly, you never had to wait in line or on its beverages to wait. There are nearly only brand drinks. read hotel review

Bars were 3 open, the main bar had the most selection.
There was everything in form of a buffet very mixed. In our opinion there was something for every taste.
Hygiene was very important to them, every day in the restaurant the food examination.
The coffee was very good, had rarely so good in a hotel. A flaw there was for the pastries. The bread just tasted not.

Mostly, the staff was always in a good mood.
The rooms were cleaned perfectly. We had each day a 'hand towel animal' on the bed.
The staff does not for every handshake the hand open, as one it from other countries/hotels.
With german alone comes one not by. But with easy english 'no problem' as you Jamaica says so beautifully.
We had a broken toilet flush after complaint also repaired.
Additional services we didn't use.

Depending on the location of the room/bungalow you walked less than 5 minutes to the beach. Unfortunately outside of the hotel is not much.
The drive to the airport took about 1 hour.
The first two we booked our trips through TUI and we had the luck, that we lillie (german emigrant) on board had. This us very much about the country, the people and history can tell.
The other excursions we did with Steve (at the tour desk in front of the hotel to ask) booked. He speaks english and makes the trips individually as you like.

183 rooms, including 135 small bungalows in a clean garden area right on the beach. All-inclusive offer with wi-fi in the lobby. There were jamaicans and british with 80%, americans and canadians with 10% and still german, swiss, dutch, kolumbier, chileans demanding, argentine...

Room

We had a beach bungalow, about 30 square meter large and clean.
The furniture (bed, zustellsofa, chest of drawers, table, 2 armchair, walk-in closet, flat screen tv with dw-tv) were very dated. Especially the old, low bath in the large bathroom broke from the tiles out (water then in the room) and the toilet was much too low with always new sporting challenge. There was an iron with ironing board, a hairdryer, telephone and a safe (2 dollar a day).

Gastronomy

There was 1 buffet restaurant and a speciality restaurant with advance notification. Moreover, a pool bar (also as only evening bar) and 2 beach bars in operation. The food was english with hardly any vegetables or fish selection (usually only 1 times kochfisch). Drinks were it fully, especially the cocktails - sometimes with very long wait. Everything was clean and small tips (lunch 1 dollar, evening 2 dollars) were gladly accepted. In the buffet restaurant was a pleasant, quiet atmosphere with upholstered chairs, but also with wobbly older tables.

Unfortunately the bootszeiten limited, since the bootswart around 11:30 a. m. longer mittagspausen need and also about 3:45 p. m. work made. Kajakfahtzen had then after about 10 minutes be canceled. Whether complaint was reacted, we couldn't find more.
The pool was clean (also the quiescent pool in the garden), all the beach chairs were new and equipped with enough umbrellas and showers were available, also a separate beach toilet. Tight it at no time. The daily evening entertainment (dancing and chows ) was good, but too noisy.

Located directly on the beach, to the airport about 100 kilometer (1.5 hour), to the town of ocho rios about 30 kilometer (taxi-bkspce including wait 40 dollars). In front of the hotel a supermarket and a few small stores. The waterfalls are in the vicinity and could be visited (day trips or taxi).

Very nice stay and personal atmosphere! Very clean beach. The staff is totally caring, guests a great time to prepare. All in all, it is relatively simple, but everything was super clean. On saturday evening the entertainment program was a bit too long and loud, but it was the only thing that a little annoying was, ultimately relates but only one night. Otherwise the evening entertainment very much to be praised: always cool live acts... And of everything very personally. We had a wonderful vacation and recommend the resort anyway! read hotel review

It is a cosy bungalows in a beautiful garden with 4 bays. Bungalows are two-storied and thus for 4 people enough. Bathrooms are in need of renovation but are kept very clean.

The beach is located in front of the bungalows and is not overful, but there were plenty of beach chairs and enough shade. The airport sangster is about an hour away. Desk in the more immediate vicinity if mount zion Bob marleys mausoleum, dunns river falls, Ocho Rios shopping or saint Ann bay. The taxis in front of the hotel are recommendable or you'll meet locals know the very cheap with one of these places to visit.

We didn't think, so a great hotel to find. A 4 star hotel is not better also.
The furniture in the room is although already somewhat older, but very clean.
As our bungalow right at the beginning was overbooked, we had to leave for a room in the main building avoid.
As compensation we got on the next day but one strandbungalow instead of the garden cottages assigned. That was really great.
Great animation for small children and young people! A really great team! Thank you!
The food was anyway a dream!
We will be back!
Greetings to the entire ... team!

The hotel is located at directly on the private beach, the from 3 bays is. Chairs are at any time of the day sufficiently available. For swimming recommend bathing shoes due to korallengestein.
In front of the hotel there are on the main street some shops and restaurants, however, the direct surrounding area wasn't very attractive. The next larger town 'Ocho Rios' is about 25 kilometers away. The transfer time from the airport is about 1 hour 15 minutes

We have not expected, that the complex so great is. It is a three stars area, but almost comparable with 4 star in this country. Top garden, with chess, hammocks, and so on. Beach is divided into 4 artificial coves, it is not in the series, but it is. Unfortunately the hotel is on the north coast of the island, which it usually the windward side and the water in the sea is often through fine cloudy. You can also the other hotel decameron fun used, which change is. Great. The landscape is Jamaica a green wonder. With the mentality ..., infrastructure and so on. It is left to everyone, as it clearly comes.read hotel review

The receive in the hotel was the last, we have never experienced something like that. We got to the check in a key into your hand pressed, and were themselves. After about 15 minutes stupid 'around' is possible we took our suitcase and made ourselves on the way to our room to check availability. We had one gartenbungalow booked. A securit. Man after the direction asked, showed us the way. Our room key was but not for our booked gartenbungalow thought, but for the court yard - room in the entrance area. The room was a hole., gloomy and musty. ... We went back to the front desk and refused in this hole only 1 night to spend. Because the hotel supposedly wonderful, we could not bungalow offer. The only possibility would be 1 night at the fun club to spend. The offer we took with a further couple at. Immediately we were for allegedly 1 night to the hotel brought. A staff from the hotel, the spoke german very well, begleidete us to the fun hotel. The next morning we should back in decameron. So we had it made.!. As arranged we were early 10 hours with packed suitcases to the check-out is required. But you didn't let go we probably would have liked for 4 days reside.! That came for us 4 not into question and we insisted on the release in our booked hotel. At this time period was also the guide from Neckermann on site. She told us, that we wednesday our bungalow would receive. Until then we were in a royal -room accommodated. Nothing special but better than court. As compensation we got a kostellosen trip to choice. At the wednesday we were now finally our bungalow. We had finally times luck, and delight us as we 2 couples one strandbungalow got the was of course great. Also the safe we got free of charge left themselves. Now was our vacation saved! In the all in all we spend a nice holiday. The weather was in the first week very not particularly good, we had every day rain. The hotel is for beach lovers not recommendable. We had very much storm and bathing in the 3 existing bays has nothing to do with Karibik to do. Beach shoes have to definitely be about the food you can't complain. It is something for every taste for breakfast it always had delicious juices. Completely great was the ' eiermann'nach the 2. day he knew exactly what and how you egg wanted. The 'small en' staff were mostly very nice and friendly. The somewhat higher gestelltren you could forget. You had to this people in the morning welcomed and not turned as it actually should be. Very good we found the entertainment team. The people make a great shop. You spray already in the morning if you engage in the mood for vacation. The garden is the whole day neat the employees are with love in its work it was our 4. decameronhotel but we believe the last. The hotels are all quite run-down. Had the luck a renovated bungalow to get. But many would have been very necessary time overtaken. In the all in all we had we a nice holiday. The next time 8. more on sea and beach. Excursions already in Germany book. We had a nice day with daveread hotel review
